During a congressional hearing on Thursday, Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri accused Republicans of holding a "perverted view of the Second Amendment," and suggested that they do not "value lives over toys."
"Students being murdered at their desks is not enough for them to value lives over toys. Republicans want the U.S. to have an even higher share of the world's gun supply. They don't want common-sense regulations on gun ownership. Their perverted view of the Second Amendment compels them to argue against reasonable restrictions," Bush declared.
"We will not succumb to the nihilist, insurrectionist view of the Second Amendment. We will not allow the apolgists for gun violence to win. We will double down on a public health response to the public health emergency that is gun violence in our country," the lawmaker said.
